Experience Halls
The Experience Hall is the center of the Seattle AI Week Summit. It's where AI startups demo live products, educators run hands-on workforce training, artists explore what happens when creativity meets machine intelligence, and partners showcase AI in their work. All in one place, all day, open to every Summit attendee.
Seattle AI Week brings together founders, researchers, engineers, policymakers, investors, and creatives across the Pacific Northwest for five days of programming. The Summit is the anchor event, and the Experience Hall is its ground floor.
Three zones. Dozens of exhibitors. Keynotes, panels, and conversations happening on stage just steps away.

Startup Alley
Startup Alley is the demo and networking hub for early-stage AI companies during Seattle AI Week. Founders set up, show live product, and connect directly with investors, operators, and engineers shaping the Pacific Northwest's AI economy. No pitch decks on a screen. Real products, real conversations.
​
Whether you're an investor scouting what's next, an enterprise buyer looking for AI solutions, or a founder who wants to meet the Seattle AI community face to face, Startup Alley is the room where that happens.
Upskill Pavilion is the workforce and learning hub of the Summit. Educators, training providers, and employers come together to connect with professionals and job seekers about the AI skills that today's careers demand.
AI is reshaping hiring, job roles, and what it means to be qualified across every industry. Upskill Pavilion is where the Pacific Northwest's workforce development community meets the people navigating that shift. Whether you're in HR, talent development, education, or you're a professional figuring out your next move, this zone is built for you.

Creative Corner
Creative Corner is the creative hub of the Summit, where designers, musicians, filmmakers, writers, and visual artists explore what AI means for their craft. As a medium. As a collaborator. As a creative challenge.
Â
Expect live demos, installations, and conversations about the work itself, not just the technology behind it. Seattle has always been a city where technology and culture overlap. Creative Corner is where that tension plays out in real time.
More to Explore
Beyond the three zones, the Experience Hall features exhibitor booths from companies across the AI ecosystem. From enterprise platforms to infrastructure providers, these are organizations investing in the Pacific Northwest's AI community and putting their tools in front of the people building with them. Stop by, ask questions, see what's new.
Booth Participant
Want a physical presence at the Summit? Set up a booth in the Experience Hall and put your AI work directly in front of the people building and buying it.
A booth means face time. Meet attendees one-on-one, run live demos, and turn a passing conversation into a real connection — all in the same room as the Summit's main content, not tucked away down a hall. You'll get a dedicated space to showcase your product, tool, or platform live, direct access to 5,000+ engineers, founders, policymakers, and researchers walking the floor, and a spot alongside Startup Alley, Upskill Pavilion, and Creative Corner.
WHY THE EXPERIENCE HALL
Most AI conferences keep the expo floor separate from the content. The Summit puts them in the same room. Attendees walk out of a keynote on AI and space and straight into a startup demoing satellite data tools. They leave an upskilling workshop and meet the companies hiring for exactly those roles.
Â
That's the point. The Experience Hall is where the ideas on stage connect to the people and products building them.
